This map shows the context of our project.
Here is the plan for this new community space.
This is where it all started. 2 vacant city lots. It is my understanding that there were previously 2 homes here and now the weeds grow up as tall as a person every summer. There is a foot path through these lots where property users cut the corner.
Thanks to Mr. James Tellis, a community member, who bush-hogged and tilled this garden for us.
Our site after tilling.
My friend Mr. David Jordan. We put our heads together to come up with a good use for his recycled concrete product that was rescued from his landfill.

Just a little bit of demo. Thanks to the City of Montogmery for the skid steer and driver for this Saturday.
Creating our paths with recycled concrete.
Lunch under the shade tree with Ms. Times who is one of the founding members of the neighborhood. Today was her 88th birthday and she is very excited about this project.
Cyle Conoly a local Electrical Engineer and Byron Berry a local contractor hard at work.
Mid construction.
Muscadine/Blackberry trellis system as an alternative to a conventional peremiter fence. Both are native Alabama fruits.
Collaboration of two local construction company owners. Byron Berry with Phoenix Homes, and Oscar Boykin with Arm and Hammer Home Repair building our rain water collection structure.
Half way through with our structure to collect rain water. Architectural design by Johnny Veres, and Structural Engineering by Hunter Hodges.
